Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thoroughly washing the baby potatoes under cool running water to remove any dirt.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Carefully add the prepared baby potatoes and reduce the heat to medium. Boil for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  4. Carefully drain the potatoes in a colander and allow them to steam for a minute to remove excess moisture.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, transfer the hot, drained potatoes and add melted butter and chopped parsley. Gently toss to coat.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with extra parsley, black pepper, and a small pat of butter if desired.
